In Love With A Mystery Part 9

I am my Beloved's and my Beloved is mine" - Song of Solomon 6:3

The Mystery Man was standing against the wall in the vestibule after morning Church. He has just finished talking with a guy friend. He seemed very relaxed. He was quietly observing, I suppose. I am not exactly sure what was going on in his mind. But, I will assure you it didn’t appear that his heart was skipping, nor did I see or feel fireworks going off in my direction either. And, I definitely did NOT feel like he was waiting for me.

Actually, it was relatively quiet in the little area.

Almost all the Church People had piled out before me. And, so as I moved out of the sanctuary, without my girl friend, I shook his hand along with the few others that were in the room. I don’t remember feeling giddy or anything. I just remember the feeling of his strong masculine hand.

And, then he said in a very nonchalant way, “Would you like to go get something to eat after Church tonight.”

I can’t remember what I said but I absolutely answered in the affirmative.

I don’t remember being shocked or surprised but this is easily explained away because I thought he meant going out as a group of People after Church. Remember I was still getting the feeling that he might not actually be engaged!

Knowing me, I said, “Yes, sure. That sounds like fun.” And, off I went my separate way.

I do remember thinking in my black pick-up truck that he is very nice and he has a soft spoken voice.

I also wondered if I should have ask, “Where will we all go?” All the while, hoping it wasn’t that icky Restaurant that we had all gone to as a group before.

(When I asked what made him ask me out, I simply get, "I wanted to get to know you better." Nope, Nothing to the effect that it was love at first sight. Oh Well! I asked him if he was attracted to me. He said, "From the moment I saw you!" Now, that is a good answer but he knew I was armed with a pillow!~ Beloved has no additional comments.)
